OK, rumor time, from a source who should know -- but no guarantees.

HP will get out of the workstation operating system business. HP-Vue, or  
whatever they call it, is going away. In its place, HP will offer both NeXTSTEP  
and Windows NT, and possibly also Solaris. My source made Solaris sound iffy,  
the other two not iffy. Announcement within a few weeks. Products some time  
down the road -- maybe 6 months from now.

Though I would love to see NeXTStep running on some serious hardware and I
hope HP does license NeXTStep, I can't see how they would just 'get out' of
the OS business. Many many people have invested huge amounts of money in
HP-UX based projects, and they wouldn't be too happy with HP doing anything
like giving up on their OS. However, if HP really wanted to get out of the OS
business, I could see them selling/turning over control of HP-UX to some
third party or something along those lines.
